Find x and decide if that side (with the x) is an Altitude

Mathematics
1 answer:
irga5000 [103]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  1. b = 15
  2. c = 51
  3. c = 100
  4. b = 25.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem equation:

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

Where 'c' is the hypotenuse and 'b' and 'a' the sides of the right triangle.

1) Here c = 17, a = 8 and b = ?

Then, using the above equation we can find the side b.

17^{2}=8^{2}+b^{2}

b=\sqrt{225}

b=15

2) Here a = 24, b = 45 and c = ?  

c=\sqrt{24^{2}+45^{2}}

c=51

3)  Here a = 28, b = 96 and c = ?

c=\sqrt{28^{2}+96^{2}}    

c=100

4)  Here a = 17, b = ? and c = 28

b=\sqrt{28^{2}-11^{2}}  

b=25.75

Just in the 4 case x is an altitude.

I hope it helps you!

3. Find the area of the polygon. Show your work.
nata0808 [166]
To solve this problem, you can split the shape into a triangle and a parallelogram.
You can do this by imagining/drawing a line from point A to point C>

Now you can work out the area of triangle ACB
1/2 x b x h
1/2 x 5 x 3
= 7.5

Now work out the area of the parallelogram ACDE
b x h
5 x 3 = 15

Add the areas together and then you have the answer
7.5 + 15 = 22.5
